“ TJ is a digital marketing and branding expert as well as an avid backpacker. His love for hiking the Appalachian Mountain region and heavily-themed board games spawned the idea for Hike It! This is TJ’s first game, and has taken him and his team over four years to fully develop. TJ also enjoys disc golfing, binging YouTube, and rooting for the University of Tennessee Volunteers (Go Vols!).”
